Review of Damien - Omen II (1978) by Kristine H — 11 Aug 2008

More intense viewing from another omen team. in this 2nd installment we see damien finding out the truth about himself, struggling with it and then finally accepting it. it's kind of a character study of the devils son? you get to know him better.

.. damn, the scene where him and his friend mark are in the snow just after mark's found out about damien....man, even the devil's son has a little compassion? very memorable scene. you almost think it'd be worth trying to reason with him.

almost. william holden is good in his genre but he's no gregory peck which is why the father figure role faulters slightly. the quick ending doesn't help either. still very much worth watching as a follow up to the first.
